You need something to "front" the connection to NTL, either a router or perhaps an old PC with two network cards and some firewall software.
Either way, plug the cable modem ethernet into the one "side" of the router / firewall and your access point / hub into the other. Turn on DHCP on the access point (if it has it), create a range that includes the address of the router as the default gateway and you should be laughing.

nice advice there with the last bit but then you would need to switch on internet sharing and that can be more bother then worth. best idea I could give you is going for a cheap router and connect the AP to that wired, also change the ip address of the AP to that of the router so you can always get into it in later stages to either setup security or anything that you might need to do, or as mentioned earlier just get a wireless router and those a going down in price hard.
